Adorable little hotel in the heart of London.
Pros:

It’s such a great little hotel. Our room was adorable. And out of the four hotels we stayed in on our trip, this one had the most comfortable bed. The bath tub is massive. It’s centrally located, easily walkable to most attractions. There are tons of restaurants near it. Will definitely stay here again.

Pleasant stay.
Pros:

The staff at every level were professional, courteous and happy - the room was spotless, and the layout was spacious. Liked the fridge and safe in the room, and the hairdryer was quite punchy.

Cons:

The pillows were a bit hard, getting in and out of the bath/shower would be a complete palaver for a less mobile person, the bedside lamps didn't work, no 'normal' freeview on the telly, and there was no de-caffinated coffee alternative available.

Perfect hospitality, cleanliness, comfor and location.
Pros:

The cleanliness and the hospitality of the staff was exceptional. The location of the hotel was absolutely amazing. A special thanks to the very friendly and helpful Candaş on the front desk. I visit London frequently; by far this is the best place to stay in terms of money for value. I’ll make sure to stay here in my future travels. Thanks everyone in the staff for their genuine smiles on their faces, cleanliness and being reachable/helpful (very swiftly I might add) 24/7. This sure was a memorable stay!

Bruyant et rapport qualité prix fortement discutable
Pros:

Literie

Cons:

Équipements vieillots
Surtout le bruit: le Check out est à 11h pourtant le ménage est effectué dans les chambres adjacentes des 7h30 y compris l’aspirateur…
Déjà que le quartier est très bruyant je ne comprends pas
Beaucoup trop cher pour l’état des chambres

Unschlagbare Lage, aber leider kein echtes Badezimmer... trotzdem zu empfehlen!
Pros:

Die Lage ist unschlagbar, nur wenige Minuten vom Piccadilly Circus (Underground zum Flughafen) und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind direkt zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Betten sind bequem und das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Leider sind die Wände zu den Nachbarzimmern sehr hellhörig und man hört jede Schranktür. Die Doppelzimmer haben kein räumlich getrenntes Badezimmer, sondern lediglich ein seperates WC und ansonsten nur eine mit Schiebetür abgetrennte Badewanne/Waschbecken, dies war aus der Zimmerbeschreibung nicht so ersichtlich.

My first West End experience
Pros:

The receptionist was lovely to chat to and provided very helpful advice on transport for our departure. Really central location which was ideal to see a West End in theatre. Comfy and clean facilities.

Cons:

The room was a bit small but I guess that's what you get for the city centre location. The fridge was making a cracking/snapping noise every now and then which did impact going to sleep a little bit.
